Reconstruction of aircraft parking platform at Sarajevo International Airport

Works on reconstruction of a part of the aircraft parking platform are in progress at the moment within preparations for reconstruction of the runway at Sarajevo International Airport. As the construction works are executed round-the-clock, staff services of Sarajevo airport have been taking a number of organizational-technical measures to prevent the execution of works from affecting security and regularity of air traffic. The reconstruction is expected to be finished by the end of next month. Value of the investment is worth approximately 800 000 KM, and it includes the reconstruction of some 3500 m2 of the existing parking platform that will be covered with new layers and a finishing 30 cm thick concrete slab, all in accordance with the international ICAO standards.
The reconstruction is being realized due to problems caused by tracks of aircraft wheels on parking positions, what required replacement of asphalt on these parts repeatedly. The general point here is to reconstruct the platform by stages, during a period of several years, what will enable a period of exploitation of minimum 20 years. First stage of reconstruction, including approximately 1600 m2, was successfully finished in 2014.
